The Dark Side of the Placebo Effect: When Intense Belief Kills
- arkj 6y agoThey should add another title, “The Dark Side of the pharma effect: When excessive belief in profit kills”. I am in no way advocating any sort of blind belief.
- Nasrudith 6y agoI wonder about magnitudes and how different the rates are versus other hypotheses - say take the approximate risk profile for their genes and similar impact of just stress from traumatic events with negative health impact. Essentially I wonder how comparable "bonus stress" is to a nocebo effect in terms of magnitude and if they can be distinguished.
